Based at Stanford University’s Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI), Dr Katy Long’s research focuses on migration, citizenship and refugee issues, especially responses to long term crisis and conflict - both by the international humanitarian and political communities and by refugees and migrants themselves. Although her work looks at global policy implications, she has carried out detailed fieldwork in Guatemala, Rwanda and Uganda.

Prior to taking up posts at Oxford, the London School of Economics and Edinburgh University she worked for the United Nations High Commission for Refugees’ (UNHCR) Policy Development and Evaluation Service in Geneva, writing on a number of issues including opening up labour migration routes for refugees, border closures and out-of-country voting. Katy also enjoys engaging in public discussions and debate on migration and humanitarian issues: she runs the website migrantsandcitizens.org and tweets as @mobilitymuse.
